One man is in critical condition after the Boulder County Sheriff's Office said he may have tried to shoot himself this morning while parked in a car on the Davidson Mesa scenic overlook off U.S. 36.

At 7 a.m., a passerby reported that a man in the front seat of a car parked on the Davidson Mesa pulloff had a gunshot wound to his head. Investigators say the shot appeared to have been self-inflicted, and one weapon was recovered from the car, according to police radio traffic.
